Logical operations with Localized Structures
We show how to exploit excitable regimes mediated by localized structures
(LS) to perform AND, OR, and NOT logical operations providing full logical
functionality. Our scheme is general and can be implemented in any physical
system displaying LS. In particular, LS in nonlinear photonic devices can be
used for all-optical computing applications where several reconfigurable logic
gates can be implemented in the transverse plane of a single device, allowing
for parallel computing.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
